Upcycling 101: What to do with old jars
I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time recycling a perfectly good jar. I also don’t like them collecting dust in my cupboard. But an empty jar is a clean slate with endless possibilities!
Welcome to upcycling 101: episode 1! Today, we’re talking all about upcycling old jars.
What to do with old jars:
1. Storage
Whether it’s leftovers or dry goods in the pantry, a jar is the perfect vessel for food storage! Plus it makes it super easy to see what’s inside and how much you have left!
2. Iced coffee – to go!
A cute jar and lid are the perfect way to take your favourite iced drink on the go! It’s leakproof, super cute, and you probably already own a jar vs buying a new to-go cup!
3. Food/Meal prep
Glass jars are perfect for meal prep such as salads, overnight oats, chia pudding and more!
4. Make candles
With just wax and a wick, you can turn your old jar into a candle! This is such a fun DIY and makes for a great present! See our candle-making guide here!
5. Flower Vase
There’s nothing prettier than sticking flowers in a mason jar vase. It’s a classic for a reason!
There are endless things to do with jars instead of throwing them away! These are just a few ideas on what to do with old jars!
